BTW. i didn't had to fiddle around for the DB4-database with Simon Matters RPM's - just make sure, the DB4-Devel-package is installed before doing rpmbuild --rebuild. Mine works excellent and stable... perhaps after the recompile your DB4 is no longer good for cyrus. Perhaps you rpm -e all your DB4-packages and reinstall them again (don't forget the db4-devel-package) and rebuild your cyrus-packages. If this doesn't work and you get a error message like: May 15 13:51:25 co ctl_cyrusdb[10520]: DBERROR: dbenv- >open '/var/lib/imap/db' failed: Function not implemented ...try the bugfix also by simon matter on his homepage at http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/db4_for_fc-1/ and do as described at his homepage with "Just install the original source rpm db4-4.x.x-x.src.rpm, patch the db4.spec file and do a rpmbuild -bb db4.spec." > > Just curious - how big of a user base are you supporting with this? > Linux can be a little difficult to tweak for performance if you're > shipping a lot of email in.
